Product Information
We are nearing a turning point in our quest for life in the universe--we now have the capacity to detect Earth-like planets around other stars. But will we find any? In The Crowded Universe , renowned astronomer Alan Boss argues that based on what we already know about planetary systems, in the coming years we will find abundant Earths, including many that are indisputably alive. Life is not only possible elsewhere in the universe, Boss argues--it is common. Boss describes how our ideas about planetary formation have changed radically in the past decade and brings readers up to date on discoveries of bizarre inhabitants of various solar systems, including our own. America must stay in this new space race, Boss contends, or risk being left out of one of the most profoundly important discoveries of all time: the first confirmed finding of extraterrestrial life.

InThe Crowded Universe, renowned expert Alan Boss offers an exciting insider's account of the quest for other Worlds."Sir Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal of Great Britain "The search for life beyond the Earth, and the study of planets orbiting other stars, are surely among the most fascinating topics in 21st century science.

These telescopes are poised to prove him right or wrong, and his book provides essential and fascinating background as the drama unfolds."Discover "The space race is on. No, not back to the moon. The next great achievement for humanity will be to find alien life on another planet. Astronomer Boss gives an inside view of how new space telescopes like Kepler and Corot are on the verge of finding Earth-like worlds around other stars."New Scientist "Boss recounts the exhilarating tale of the race to discover the first truly Earth-like exoplanet. AsThe Crowded Universeunfolds, it brings alive the thrills and disappointments of bleeding-edge science, the fierce competition between American and European planet-hunting teams and the politics of billion-dollar research.
